| Power Cord; upgrade vs tweak IEC connectors are actually a drawback in terms of the quality of connection. Quite honestly, i think they suck but we are kind of stuck with them. They were added to audio components strictly as a way to bypass specific UL safety tests. The fact ... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Those that are administering the tests do not know what is being tested at the very specific time of the DBT, but that does not mean that there isn't some type of log or record that couldn't be taken of such an event by an outside source such as a... | |

When trying to generate high levels of sustained SPL's, one needs to actually consider the dispersion pattern of the speaker into the distance and not just how loud the speaker will play at one meter. In this cas... | |

| DAC decision, help please Ken: I've not been out listening to much gear lately, so i don't know what direction i'd go. I would probably look for a good one box unit and have it modified, but that is just a guess. As to what one box player i'd shoot for, i'd have to refresh... | |

| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?

There is not a speaker made that can be distan... | |

| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K The beauty of good electronics is that they are suited for whatever one wants to play or listen to. As for speakers, tell him to look for something that is both efficient and handles a lot of power with multiple woofers. Sean> | |
| Speaker placement at dealers Phasecorrect: Unsound's comments were pulled yet he has no affiliaton with Symphony Sound. Unsound was simply responding to and applauding Hackmaster's comments. For those that did not know, Hackmaster operates Symphony Sound here in Chicago. Sean... |
